1. The case for simplifying the maintenance process through product design / Anoop Desai and Anil Mital -- 2. A disassembly algorithm to maximize resource utilization: a case study / Anoop Desai and Anil Mital -- 3. Standardization of technical data utilized for maintenance activities / Masaya Hagiwara -- 4. Allocation of nursing workforce in hospital wards with mix patient needs / Issachar Gilad and Ohad Khabia -- 5. Shelf management in apparel industry / Jung-Wook Lee, Yoon-Min Hwang, and Jae-Jeung Rho -- 6. Improving productivity in resource-constrained / Anil Mital and Arunkumar Pennathur -- Index.
Abstract: This book presents examples of engineering applications; particularly Industrial Engineering applications. Six distinct cases are included. The applications range from product design to quality control. The emphasis is on developing methodologies that can enhance utilization of resources. Case studies are important in demonstrating the use of engineering design principles and methodologies. The published literature, however, shows a paucity of cases that may be used for teaching and learning purposes. The reasons for a dearth of published case studies are many, including the propriety nature of problems and confidentiality of data. Such issues are further aggravated as many companies are self-insured and are reluctant to share information with outsiders.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book offers detailed case studies on how various industries have learned how to best allocate their resources--technical, human, and nancial--for enhancing productivity. It includes efforts to improve resource utilization from around the world. Case studies cover topics ranging from distributed virtual manufacturing enter-prises to integrating green technology in a cost-effective manner to materials and energy savings. Resources Utilization and Productivity Enhancement Case Stud-ies explores how energy-ef cient smart materials and structures hold tremendous potential for realizing cost savings and improving energy use in the modern industrial workplace. It also shows how industrial engineers have developed a variety of analytical and computer-based tools and technologies for planning, forecasting, and schedul-ing resources--including time, labor, and more recently, energy.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
